FC Barcelona call-up list against Benfica - Champions League 2024/25

Everything is set for FC Barcelona to face one of the most important commitments they have left to tackle this March. The team led by Hansi Flick, emotionally affected by the tragic and lamentable passing of Dr. Carles Miñarro last weekend, will host SL Benfica at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, aiming to close out a series they already tipped in their favor in Lisbon last Wednesday with a 0-1 scoreline, where a single goal from Raphinha put the conditions in favor of the Culés.

This time around, the German coach has unveiled a list of 23 called-up players with few surprises. The only notable absence is the absence of Pau Cubarsé, who was sent off in the first leg against the Lisbon team and must serve his respective suspension in this match.

Furthermore, it is clear that the absence of Robert Lewandowski in the previous call-up against CA Osasuna, as confirmed by Hansi Flick, was solely due to the need to give him rest. However, he is expected to be present without any issues in the match against SL Benfica.

Similarly, Raphinha, around whom speculations swirled after failing to arrive with the Culé expedition at the Gran Meliá Torremelina hotel, where the Culés are concentrated before the clash against the Portuguese side, eventually joined the group. Journalist Gerard Romero revealed that 'Rapha' had to resolve certain personal matters before joining the concentration.

FC Barcelona enters the match against SL Benfica with three players injured and one suspended.

• Injured: (#1). Marc-André ter Stegen; (#15). Andreas Christensen; (#28). Marc Bernal
• Suspended: (#2). Pau Cubarsí
